Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Bro really killed him because he lost the argument
He also killed him because he knew mike would go after him had he killed the guys in prision either way.
Walter was so egotistical.. I mean the dude had a conscience back then but now He didn’t take the job that could’ve saved him He didn’t listen to skyler He killed Gus He didn’t leave the job when things were getting bad And now he killed Michael
Bro just like me fr
That's what weak men do when they lose. They lash out rather than learn from it
mike ratio'd him so hard that walter didn't block him, he just straight up killed him. the ehrmantraut grindset
This show is the best thing that happened to the bald community
Bald hasn’t been this cool since Michael Jordan
This show is a bastion of badass middle-aged/old bald men, lol.
Curb your enthusiasm being a close second
LMFAO
Lol
The way jonathan banks says “YOU, and your pride and ego” with such disgust is so so good
Mike only really loses his cool twice in BB/BCS but everytime he does, it's killer, just incredible
I think Jonathan Banks overplayed in this scene.

Bro killed him cuz he lost the argument 💀💀💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fax lmaoooo
Nice argument Unfortunately, *trigger click*
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mike had way too much pride (obviously, Walt is also super prideful). He just had to get the last word in always, and it cost him his life.
Imagine trying to die peacefully and then your killer comes up to you trying to have a conversation with you
'im terribly, terribly sorry for my behaviour'
'Lovely view huh?'
Imagine your killer saying "oh bro, you know what. I could have just asked somebody else" lol
I really wish I could take that bullet back
“Please forgive me, that was rude. Can I make it up to you? Maybe a drink?”
Bro really killed mike because he was losing an argument
Bro did the death ratio
Bro is a gamers
Fr 💀
@RhulksLegs facts
mike hurt his feelings....walter doesnt like that
What makes it even sadder is that Walt figured out how to get the names. So Mike died knowing his family would never get any of his money, and all of the 9 guys that he trusted on that list would die, and their families would never be supported. He died in pain, knowing that his plans would never come to fruition, and he was next to the one person he dispised more than anyone.
Fruition. Not flourish in.
@@scottydscottd I got u
Damn
9 guys he trusted? They were blackmailing him and they were gunna snitch on him if he didn’t pay up…
Probably why he told walt to shut up
I love how while Mike is literally dying a slow painful death he doesn’t show any signs of being in severe pain or any fear of death he just calmly accepts his fate and just dies peacefully
Nah he is in shock. No pain there.
And that's the way everyone should be when he dies. Just accept that Chemistry rules.
More like the realization that everything he ever did amounted to basically nothing
I like how he tells Walt to shut up
Wasn’t peacefully, but it was solemn
Imagine getting popped by a guy and a second later he tells you “damn my bad I didn’t need to do that”
He was still going to kill Mike whether he gave him the names or not.
@@stellarwind1946 what makes you say that?
"my fault og"
@@johnfurlong5472 Jesse later says : there's no way Mike would let you kill his guys without you having to look over your shoulder for thr rest of your life. Which makes me think he's dead and you already know that. Something like that.

Spot on

Even as Mike is dying, Waltuh can’t help but make it about himself. Mike’s last line was truly the perfect line
put your d away waltuh
I HATE WALTER!!!!
I'm not having
Lame weirdos ^^
@@morganfreeman2102 ratio
I love the shock on Walt’s face for damn near this entire scene, you can tell that a large part of him expected that Mike would somehow just take the bullet, that it would bounce off him or something similarly fantastical.
He expected Mike to put up a fight, give him a thrill and fuel his ego. He didn't expect that Mike was ready to call it quits. Just like how he kept forcing Jesse to continue being in the game.
@@DaekoTan Mike’s death in my opinion was honestly more dramatic than it should have been even with how fast it was, part of me wishes they’d gone the Wire route with him and just had this invincible, completely terrifying presence just get snuffed out without any fanfare at all, but what we got was obviously also a legendary scene.
Reference to Omar? If so yea, he was such a great character shoutouts to him. And his name rung loud and clear even after death, just like Marlo wished for but never got
@@Crossroads_Romeodeath in the wire literally ruined all other TV show deaths for me. It's too realistic they just go down over in b more
@@DaekoTanMakes sense. Was wondering how he knew that Mike wouldn’t see him coming through his rear view mirror, but he was planning on it.
If you ever think Walt is a good person, remember he had no reason to tell Mike that he could get the names anyway, other than to basically ruin Mike's dying moments by letting him know all his men were still going to die.
It had to be done
If Mike learned about his guys dying, he would've came back for Walter, and Walter knew for damn sure he ain't stopping him. Someone like Mike, you kill him now, or you die next.
@@Cynwale Mike was not trustworthy
@@Kim.Ju-aeMike is as trustworthy as it gets, its Walter who isnt worthy of trust to begin with. He bribed Jesse into staying by keeping his blood money, he doesnt settle with just Enough he wants to make it big and he'd use whatever means to make it, including risking his family. Mike and Jesse are more man than him.
who the hell thinks walt is a good person after watching season 5
If there’s one thing Better Call Saul did, it made it more evident just how much of an absolutely chaotic force Walt really was. All of these characters survived cartels, psychopaths, criminal masterminds and in the end all of their lives get uprooted and destroyed by a chemistry teacher with an ego problem.
Walt was a genius whose ego ruined his life and chance at success. Grey Matter and the drug trade both were never enough for him because he wanted to be the #1 man. He was an egoistical maniac, yes, but he was extremely smart. Yes, he lucked out with some things but often it was his genius that got him to where he wanted.
If that show teaches us anything it’s that these characters were always bad. Walt just became apart of that world, but it’s not like Gus and Mike were any different. Mike killed people as much as Walt did and was working in the same business. Gus killed people too and his revenge was his motivation. Sure Walt did things and bad things at but I wouldn’t consider anybody in this show to be a saint sure they had limits but they all had blood on their hands.
"Technically, chemistry is the study of matter, but I prefer to see it as the study of change. It's growth, then decay, then transformation." © Waltuh.
....who has nothing to lose because he's dying. Sorry, will never buy this scene. No way does that character suddenly become an idiot.
@@deanjustdean7818 The strength was there, but you don't suddenly become a handgun expert and walk up on a cop/marine/enforcer to luckily find him with his guard down. If Walt was going to kill Mike, he should have blown him up. This was....idiotic on a lot of levels.
Whenever you feel useless, just remember they had a hairstylist on scene for this show.
not tryna be that 🤓 emoji kinda guy but in this scene walter is fake bald. But yeah that could be the make up artist work so also don't know why the hairstylist was there
@@kotak4420 I had a stroke reading that.
@@alnobleman2884 that comment was not hard to read.
@@kotak4420 where does it say he wasnt bald in this scene?
@@alnobleman2884 if you didn't understand that maybe you do have strokes
"Shut the fck up and let me die in peace" must be the greatest last words ever
What's so shocking about this scene was that it was completely unplanned and totally needless. Walt had a reason for every single person he killed, whether it was to cover his tracks or it was to further his plans as a drug lord, and each time he killed someone it was premeditated and planned. With Mike, Walt killed him out of nowhere because he dug at Walt for what he truly was; a prideful, arrogant manipulator, and his ego getting hurt caused him to lash out like this.
Yeah but Mike was going to kill Walt in the laundry, then he beat him up in a bar, and then threatened him several times. It was about fking time Walt took his fair revenge!
i mean... even if it wasnt for his ego, walt had figured that mike had to go. he knew he was always going to stand between those inmates. and even tho he could make his move with lydia, he couldnt afford the risk of mike's return for revenge. because that would be half measure.
This was also, at least partly, premeditated. He had already took the gun out of the holster before giving the bag to mike.
Walt did a whole bunch of impetuous, stupid, unplanned moves throughout the show; this was far from the first time he acted rashly and realized what he had done after the fact.
@@paulswietek3665 yeah he brought a bomb to a hospital
the fact that Walter actually reached a level that he killed a man just because he was annoying him is crazy .... greatest show
It wasn’t because he annoyed him, he told Walt to keep his place and if you understand the final season Walt has become completely about control, but EVERYONE always blames Walt and has a soft spot for mike even though mike and fring were some really egotistical bastards just as much as Walter was, although not as outright.
@@peacethrufire2430 Mike didn’t do anything wrong, he was going to leave and everything would’ve been alright Walt got in his feelings and killed him
He still alive in el camino
@@phuhq1349 that’s called a flash back buddy
And it started off with Walter breaking down and crying when he had to kill someone who literally tried to kill him (Krazy-8)
The more your watch Better Cal Saul, the more you realize how 100% right Mike was in telling Walt he ruined everything
It was actually Walter's care for Jesse and Jesse himself that ruined things.
@@rickgrimes8870 Bro what? Walt was willing to let Jesse die if it meant going to the top and that was his ego talking, the only thing keeping Jesse alive is Walt's bond with him.
@@rickgrimes8870 Point is, it’s all because of Walter that things went bad
Heisenberg is king. As good as they are, or how flawed Walt was. Walt brought all of them down.
@@codyhiginbotham6616 No it wasn’t. It all started when Jesse tried to kill those dealers who were employed by Gus. Jesse is to blame.
Telling Walter to "know his place" is basically the most 100% guaranteed way of making him murderously angry. He killed Mike with the exact same energy that made him tell Gretchen "FU" in S2 Episode 6.
You never belittle an egotistical man
@@HatredInTheFlesh Ehh, worth a shot, Mike spitting nothing but facts.
This show is genius. It makes you root for Walt in the beginning and towards the end he becomes the MOST HATED. Like I viscerally hated Walt towards the end. Then when he is coming back from NH, you are compelled to root for him again. This is amazing writing.
Because Walter is egotistical self centerred man, desperately trying to prove he is someone. Going to such lengths escalating things and being even more childish with this as time goes on to a point where he ruins everything, by clinging to this. He only ammends it to Jesse and his family but only partly, damage he done is there to stay.
I really hated Skyler by the end too
Never sympathised with Walt from the start.
I always liked Walt even after everything he did.
I never hated Walt always supported him (basically its makes sense he is literally the main character)
The part when he said "put your d*** away Walter".... Absolute chills!
Lol was looking for this comment 😂😂😂😂
Bravo Vince
*waltuh
He didn’t say that
@@p0p7art I was about to hit you with the 🤓 but saw your profile picture
Mike wasn't scared of Walter at all, but Mike underestimated Walter, because of how unpredictable Walter can be.
Walt already had planned something since he took the gun out of the bag hours before giving it to Mike.
@@alanvelasquez837 or he thought Mike would use the gun on him
I read just read that in mikes voice. “Waltah”
Mike overestimated Walt, you mean. Didn't anticipate how much of a backstabbing weasel he is
@@BigA678 nah
"I just realized Lydia has the names I can get 'em from her." Cold blooded.
The way Walt looked intimidated when Mike walked up on him is such good subtle acting.
“You could’ve made as much money as you NEEDED” that’s the biggest line in this to me Walt only needed 600k but his greed and ego couldn’t stop there
@@EwTZ2xpQwpA but after he killed gus he still kept cooking he haz enough money he never cared about the money it was about holding an empire
@@redhood444 I think that its also the power he feels/gets that why he continues to cook.
Didn't Walt mess this all up to save Jessy from the people who were trying to kill him?
At the start he did yes but he lost money through multiple things that put him in debt again so he needed to keep going for that, Hanks medical bills etc etc but yeah his greed definitely got the better of him and took entire hold of him
It wasn't the money it gave walt the excitement he craved
"Let me die in peace" Perfect final words for mike
@Sam Get your car of my chest 🚙 🖖🏻
he didn't even need last words, he was a man tired of having to tell idiots what to do. He was finally reaching the big silence where words will never be needed, becoming one with The All, and the beauty of the peaceful river water flow was all he getting there. Walter isn't even aware of the larger picture his POS life drifts like a numb witted one
Tragedy and beauty in one scene. Mike's history could have ended much more grim considering the life he lead. At least he was able to go out in peace. Sad as it may be.
I want there to be a scene in better call saul season 6 where he’s rushed to hospital and he’s shown to be alive.
@@KiLLJoYKZhead That'd be crazy if he lived through it.

@@maikatideibaskapanaumrqlatupa bro better a coward then what he became
Mike is usually good at predicting anything around confrontation. The fact that even he didn’t expect Walter to do this is extremely sad.
He underestimated his pettiness and lack of self-control. Can't even call it pride, this was Walt's most pathetic moment to me.
@@incidentlyaniguana2193 More pathetic than poisoning a child? I mean Mike was in the game. Sure he was loyal, smart, and all those good things. But still in the game. It was to be expected in some way. Even Gail was in the game. But the fact Walt was ok poisoning a child to me was to see how pathetic and how far he would go.
@@SheaRoberts regardless it was still pathetic. Great TV show all around. Too bad more shows couldn’t have as good of writing as this.
especially when u see his planning in Better Call Saul
Walter gets under his skin. He holds a mirror up to the reality that this business changes people and Walter does NOT hold it well I think we forget that the transition into Frankenstein's monster is a slow fade. Truth is that Mike still holds out that he's not completely gone.Mike has been living this life for a long time and for the most part, has had the jump on whoever was on the docket The last time he had that on Walt was in that Laundromat, but that old Heisenberg magic snuck past. He can't just kill Walt on "some prophylactic measure" as much as he despises him. It would confirm that Walt got the better of him if he lost his cool. That would cinch his humanity It's telling, that brief moment of apprehension _YOU_ caused him to overlook what Walt may have been scheming and it cost him
Even in the moment when he shot Mike and had the audacity to tell him "I'm sorry".. It's a testament to how far Walter's mind has really gone from the beginning of the first episode.
That *_”yooouuuu”_* at 1:49 was delivered so amazingly. So much built-up disgust and hatred rolled into one word.
soulja boy tellem
You have to wonder what Mikes thinking in his last moments. Fring is dead. His money for his family got taken, he will disappear without a trace. He took a half measure and got killed by the guy he was worried about the whole show. Brutal ending for an amazing character.
He has already made sure his family is looked after financially long long before this
@The Guy Who Knows Some Guys you obviously don't watch Better Call Saul or you would know
@@chelskisoldat7973 no it all gets seized basically
@@chelskisoldat7973 he got caught so everything bought with drug money would get seized
Yeah I really liked him BB but... After watching him in BCS .. it's really tough to see this video... What a loving character he is ..
The writers decided to kill off the most likeable character with a great background story, seconds before he could leave the show peacefully... Only to show how much of a merciless, messed up thug the main character became. It still hits deep after all those years.
I wouldn't say that he's *the* most likeable, but that he's one of the most likeable characters, with the other ones being Saul and Jesse.
@Pinko Slink thats false bozo. sociopaths are merciless and brutal.
I didnt like him
@@mrdabrow Mike appeals to aging, insular men and Jesse women or daffodils
@@TheSundayShooter L bozo. walt is one of the most irritating, unlikeable characters ever. People with brains like Hank, Jesse, Gus, and Mike more.
I got chills when Walt said “Mike it’s time to go to Belize”. Truly a reflection of how twisted his psyche became by this point. Incredible acting as always.
my favorite part was when he said to Mike "my bad I guess I just broke bad" as he was dying
I liked the part where Mike said, "I knew I should never have trusted you, Waltuh. I had a feeling you were going to break everything bad. And I did nothing to stop you when I coulda. I guess that was on me."
I love how Gilligan gave Mike a peaceful sunset for his end
It was literally the first time Mike put his guard down the whole show. He never guessed Walt would be that low to cheap shot him like that.
So basicly Walter tricked Mike.
Cheap shot probably isn't the best word, cheap shot implies that there's a valiant way to kill someone with a gun when there really isn't, by this logic we could consider tucos death a cheap shot as well tbh
”If you lose your gaurd you lose your life”
Mike deserved it. He had it coming what did he think he'd keep pushing Walt's buttons and nothing would happen?
No. He didn't expect him to kill him at that particular moment. There were many times before Mike knew walt had valid reasons to kill him like when he was about to execute him.
Mike literally died all bc he bruised Walt’s ego beyond repair while simultaneously staying loyal to his guys. Respect
It was not because he bruised Walt's ego... Walt already had much intention to off him because he needed to get to those 10 people on the list. The last conversation adds oil to it though no doubt.
Ask Nacho's father what he thinks of Mike. You gangsters with your justice. You're all the same.
Mike died cause he needed to die and he underestimated walt again lol.
Loyal to guys who'd sell him out. I swear it seemed like he intentionally did that to troll Walt
Mike should know his place, and realize Walter was the master
Walt: “…just now realized, uh…I can get the names from Lydia.” What a thing to hear after the guy charged you and shot you
"If you had done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now." It's kind of crazy how this line reflects Mike's character, on the surface it is simple, he sticks by the rules because he understands there are unforeseen consequences to breaking them, they can be devastating, if he didn't waver from this his son would still be alive and things would be better, is how he sees it I love how Better Call Saul compliments this series
If Walter knew his place he would die from cancer. Mike had to learn how to keep his mouth shut.
He was wrong though, because what set everything in motion was Walt saving Jesse and Gus deciding he needs to punish him for it. They could've still worked together after that if Gus wasn't obviously planning and trying to kill him.
"Just because you shot Jesse James don't make you Jesse James". Mike was totally right about Walter.
Yep.
That’s the best line Mike ever said.
Waltuh
Mike was just butt hurt Walt killed his boss
@@snake0911 True, but he did turn out to be right that Walter was in over his head taking over Gus' place.
Mike was the man Walt pretended to be. Tough as nails, respected by everyone he worked with in the game, but never lost his human integrity or dedication to his family.
Exactly why everyone respected him. He wasn't there to be a big shot, he was there to put money in his pocket.
Except that walt was more intelligent and ruthless than mike. The only one who could kill walt is Lalo
@@rover5058 yeah, maybe Walt was more educated than him. He was extremely talented with chemistry. But as a whole, he wasn’t smarter than Mike. He screwed everything up, causing everyone around him to die or go into hiding. He consistently made the wrong decisions and doubled up on mistakes, something both Mike and Gus warned him about. He did it all for his family yet he tore his family apart in the process. Walt was not ruthless. He was an idiot who pretended like he was smarter than everyone else.
very good point
@@loganc751 Walt was definitely more intelligent than Mike, but Mike (and most everyone) was wiser than Walt (which is kinda what led to his downfall)

Fun fact: While a lot of people believe Walt killed mike because of his ego, he actually killed him because he knew he would later return in hit television series Better Call Saul!
For me the saddest part is Walt following Mike and trying to apologise. Even in Mike’s last moments peacefully contemplating the end and looking over the beautiful view, Walt ruins the moment thinking about his own ego. Mike’s response is perfect.

Mike is the only person who did it for the family.
“I can’t up and leave mike I’ve got a family. People who depend on me” That line aggravated me to my core cause Mike was the one truly doing it all for his family
True
It's easy to hate on Walter but you forget that Gus threatened to kill Walter's entire family, it turned him into this, Mike would have done so for Gus without a second thought.
@@1esteemed5 that’s true but at this point gus was gone so it would’ve been safe
@@1esteemed5 Walter was already turning into this person, it wasn’t a threat that did it solely.
And walter was doing it all for himself
If Walt had actually planned to kill Mike, Mike would have smelt it coming from a mile away and it would have failed miserably. Not even Mike could have guessed Walt would make an impulse decision quite like this.
That’s what makes this scene so good. I love, too, that Mike does with dignity.
Walt did plan it. He handed Mike the bag before being chewed out, which means he'd already stolen the revolver. That right there shows premeditation.
@@MasterChiefSamus Walter probably took it because he didn’t trust mike not to turn on him
@@remphz3321 if he didnt trust him he wouldn’t have volunteered to go for him
@@bovelyyoung1041 nah he needed to for the names of his people. He took he gun as a precaution
I've known people like Walter. They start small and they are humble. Later, they have a taste of success and suddenly, it goes to their head and they despise everybody who helped them along the way. They actually believe they are the solitary reason for the success. It's a good lesson for what not to be.

@@WELSHGAMER99 nah, walters pride and ego made everything go down the drain, he wanted to be higher than gus, he wanted to be king. Just somehow didn’t realize it would destroy everything he loved
@@matthewhoward7384 If that was the case why was Walt content with Gus up until saving Jesse?
@@WELSHGAMER99😂because Gus had way more power and threatened to kill Walt’s family. That’s why Walt had Gus killed in a concealed way
@Mike Tha God No, Jesse was the one that ruined everything. He caused the conflict between Walter and Gus. Walter only killed Gus because of that conflict and Gus wanting to kill and replace Walter once he copied his formula. Please, watch the show.
Probably my favorite example of narcissistic rage in fiction. Walts ego was wounded so he invented a reason to lash out, and when it's done he seems ashamed of himself because he rationally realizes how petty, pointless, and cruel he was. For once Walt can't justify it as defending himself or protecting his family and he feels small because he can't escape the fact he just killed a man for hurting his feelings.
And then he learns nothing because he goes through the exact same emotional cycle with Hank's death a few episodes down the line.
well put 👏
Mike had it coming, he beat Walt up in a bar in front of everyone and repeatedly threatened him in other occasions.
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor you can’t be that stupid 😂
i mean... even if it wasnt for his ego, walt had figured that mike had to go. he knew he was always going to stand between those inmates. and even tho he could make his move with lydia, he couldnt afford the risk of mike's return for revenge. because that would be half measure.
The way the camera stays still when Walt goes back to his car to grab the gun, then the menacing ‘music’ as Heisenberg charges back toward Mike. Simple but genius
This is hands down Walt's most pathetic moment and the worst part is he himself realizes it.

I mean walt could just get the bag, beat cancer, and send all the cash through "donations" and live good but his ego doesn't like that he thought he deserves better
In fairness, Jesse did start it by going after those gangbangers
Mike was the most logical character and easily the most relatable character of the whole series
you are relatable to a villain who puts down people without empathy?
@@JadeiteMcSwag i meant mood wise
@@JadeiteMcSwagbros past life had to have been a grasshopper, the way you jumped to that conclusion damn
@@JadeiteMcSwagBut the people he puts down without empathy were horrible people. The policemen who killed his son, the guys who tried to kill Saul Goodman, the guy who threatened his granddaughter... He's a grey character.
Him and Jesse Pinkman are the realest characters in this show
I like how Mike just accepted his fate. It seemed to me like he knew he would meet this type of fate and just reflected upon his life
He was the most sensible one of all to accept in this line of work things eventually catch up to you
He knew that he didn’t really have anything to live for any more. He couldn’t see Kaylee and Stacey again and had no way of getting any more money to them. He would have spent the rest of his life just waiting to die so why not get it over with.
I hope Mike had a quick, cheeky bite of his pimento cheese sandwich in his final moments.
Mike already said it. That Walt was a ticking time bomb, just waiting to explode and destroy all of the people near him. Mike knew this and didn’t want to be caught in the crossfire, but in end. He ended up in the crossfire. LLM🕊
3:30 the music stops and theres nothing but peacefulness of the bugs and river😞
I love it when Mike looks so defeated and given up after Walt had shot him. Mike has dealt with killers, mercenaries and gangs all his life but that one moment of losing his guard had screwed him. So he's just sitting there trying to die in peace not even fighting back anymore thinking "Really? Killed by this guy?"
No, Mike knew Walter will die by somehow. Because of Walter's personality. He already knew Walter is very sensitive to all of things. Smart but sensitive.
He could have killed Walter but he didn't.
@@saumyatyagi6763 yeah...he got cocky cause he underestimate Walt over and over and over. You thought he would have learn his lesson by then.
@@Iwanwahid1969 I would say that mike never expected Walt to just clip him. Walt can be dumb sometimes.
The guy killed him also the only one who killed his Boss Fring.
Arrowhead studios after sony forced them to make helldivers 2 be psn account linking only
At 1:13 to 2:00 In light of the gaming world's on-going situation and this is Helldivers vs Sony right now. I wanna you guys picture this, Mike's representing the Helldivers 2 Community and Walter representing the Sony company.
Mike was always right about Walt, he's like a time bomb, always ticking to explode
@KLm Mike didn't deserve to die there 😢
Yes and no, Walt showed that he could run this business and leave it when he was satisfied with the amount of money earned was sufficient. Through horrible ways yes but still. Walt had retired for good from crime/empire business until Hank found that one evidence.
@@alexeiharp7676 until Hank found that one evidence... That Walter keep bc of his ego
@@AzumarillConGafasBv walt only kept it because deep down he wanted to be caught…
ding ding ding ding ding AHHHH *BOOM*
This is one of the saddest scenes in this masterpiece of a show. Mike was one of my favorite characters
Will you just let me die in peace 😿
Exactly. No question
Agreed - Mike was so incredible in avoiding the most experienced trained killers, and yet he underestimates Walter in this one moment and it costs him his life. Really sad moment in the series.
Damn same here bro, i am in emotions and tears for mike
That was a tough night for me
I got immediate chills down my spine when Mike greeted Walter, it comes to show how much attention to detail was poured into these episodes. Bravo Vince
1:20 Love how this phrase is now permanently associated with baki
I love how Mike is portraited as the ultimate professional: no mistakes, no emotions, all his actions calculated from cleaning up Jane's house to escaping the police manhunt on him. But at 01:30 he finally loses his cold front and lashes at Walter telling him everything he thinks of him, and then dies because of those seconds stepping out of his character...
dude you're so right... I never realized this until now. what a god tier show and scene.
Focused Mike will never expose his back to his counterpart.
Mike opened the bag and we see the empty holster. I think Walt was ready to get those names no matter what.
@@supremarket he was most likely going to threaten him into giving the names, but because of what mike told him he froze and couldn't pull out the gun. so he shot him.
@@supremarket even Walt himself said. All of this didnt need to happen. all he need to do is get the names from the woman. He just killed Mike because Mike insulted Walt's Pride.
“I just realized that Lydia has the names. I can get them from her.” Hearing that for the first time made me so angry I could barely even focus on the rest of the scene
it's just a show, mike is fine
@@johnnym1320 he's dead :(
@@johnnym1320 Jonathan Banks is fine but Mike is dead for realsies :(
@@biggusdickus1689 Actually, Bryan Cranston shot Banks for real to make his death more believable. Bravo Vince, this is the moment the unfunny joke became even less funny somehow
@@johnnym1320 oh i thought this actually happened
2:15...sends chills down your spine. This was the moment Walt was officially evil.
Yeah, he was evil when he killed a professional hitman/gangster. Not when he poisoned a child, constantly manipulated Jesse, r*ped his wife, let Jane die, and continuously lied to everyone in his life.
Even though at this point Walter is past the point of no return, I don't think Mike is right. Gus's plan all along was to get Walter to work with Gale until Gale can copy everything and then get rid of Walter. I think Walter acted rationally for half the series. It's hard to tell exactly where was that point of no return ( probably letting Jane die, although even that is questionable since there's a good chance Jane and Jesse would soon completely lose their lives while abusing H but idk ). Say what you will about Walter, he became a monster at this point but Mike is not right about "them" having a good thing going, Mike had a good thing going, not Walter.
Gus only wanted to kill Walt after he killed the 2 guys, but even after that, Walter started being paranoid and reckless throughout all of season 4 which is why Gus fired him. Walter did have a good thing after Gale died and no one was there to replace him.
"You! And your pride and your ego!" is delivered so great by Jonathan Banks, granted his whole performance is stellar, but I feel like Mike's character was waiting a long time to say this!
And ultimately it was what got him killed too. He could have driven away after Walt handed over the money but he got pushed back in and spoke his mind.
@@Jackw00pw00p2 Right. Mike's big mouth got him killed.
@@Jackw00pw00p2one rare emotional outburst from an otherwise stoic character.... and it turns out to be the last mistake he ever made. Very sad, to be honest
@@Jackw00pw00p2You can see that he had all that resentment saved, only Walter was the only one to get it out of his head.
@@Jackw00pw00p2 I say it was worth it. Mikey really gave Walt a big slap of reality.
“… you and your pride and your ego…” is the line that echos in my head when thinking about this scene. Jonathan’s performance is incredible and just telling Walt point-blank what’s wrong with him and why everything keeps going to hell around him. He said it in the most direct way possible with no hesitation or fear. Just anger and aggravation.
It has to be conducived to him. ( Walter ) If he fulls his point-blank. It will lead him to death by somehow.
It's one of those line deliveries that live rent free in my head.
And then Walt killed him for it -_-
Gus was after his family threatening him so he had to , could have argued like this but instead he stared angrily
Actually Walter was just fighting for his life
"Whoopsie daisy. Sorry Mike. Didn't mean to kill you."
If Mike just drove off when Walt said “you’re welcome” he would’ve probably survived
What I love about this scene is how cold and heartless Walter is portrayed here, and how Cranston makes it seem accidental, almost "innocent". Mike died protecting his men, but by telling him he can just get the names from Lydia, Mike knows he died for nothing.
I can't get on board with Mike as any kind of hero or protecting anyone beyond his own self interests, much like Walt. But I agee with you on one point and in my opinion it's the the most distrubing part of the scene for me. Walt speaks about realizing he can just get the names from Lydia as nonchantlantly as if he'd just missed a turned on his way to run an errand- while a man bleeds to death next to him because of his actions. oopsie. At least he apologized, I guess. One of the many corners Walt turned on his way to becoming the villian.
And it proves what Mike was saying about him Walt's ego is his downfall. He tells him to shut up cos there is no point him trying to explain it anymore.
I would say that the real reason behind Mike's death was everything he said about Walter, not the protection behind. Walter was angry and salty because he knew everything Mike said was true.
@@risualeo Dude...I literally just said that🤣 And got no likes *facepalm* 🤣
@@kevinmach730 this wasn't cutting a corner to become a villain. Walt has been a full on villain for 2 seasons by now
I love how despite everything Mike’s been through he gets killed by Walt over something stupid. Just goes to show how you could do all this crazy stuff put yourself in danger and your death could be caused by something that didn’t even need to happen.
Happens every day. Soldiers live through wars and come home to die of diabetes and car accidents.
@@asphaltannihilator157 life is random like that without any reason
I think mike would've needed to be killed anyways. The reality is if Walter went after his guys Mike would've probably came after Walt.
Reminds me of how Steve Erwin died. The guy swam with sharks, wrestled with gators, and got bit by several venomous snakes. Then he dies to an accident with a sting ray. Damn shame but sometimes legends die in nonlegendary ways.
Imagine going through hundreds of solo confrontations with the criminal underworld. It might be easy to forget that any one of them could kill you at a moment’s notice if that’s just your daily life
I love how the music changes when Walter starts walking back to Mike’s car. You already know whats about to happen.
I love the fact that this isn't a calculated k!ll like Walter's other victims and most likely out of rage. Its brillian because i think the first half of S5 shows how much both characters want control and power over things which resulted in an imbalance and tension. It of course strikes Walt's ego to the point where he decided to kill Mike to regain his ego and grasp of control
By telling the dying Mike that Lydia has the names, Walt is adding to his pain because now he knows that his 9 guys will be killed too :(
@@EwTZ2xpQwpA so much for no more half measures huh
As interesting as that sounds, it does not look like that's what happened here. It really does look like Walt got caught up in a rush of emotions, and only after the regret had set in did he realize how all this could have been avoided.
Sure, he doesn’t mean to add to the pain. He’s trying to apologize for making Mike’s death basically meaningless and also unintentionally saying Mike’s holding out on the information was futile. Everything about Mike’s death was senseless. Great writing
@@CookieThug Kiss Land!
I mean Mike could've easily been added to the list of said people that knew the truth about him and Mike was useless to him. He had no benefit for letting Mike live
Mike saw right through Walt right to end. Walt’s face when Mike addresses his ego and pride is amazing, shows how inflated Walt’s ego was.
It wasn't a particular deep thing to see. Walt was pretty bad.
@@Delightfully_Bitchy Mike too. Fans keep forgetting how many bodies these guys put in the ground.
Yeah we’ve never seen Mike like that, just shows how far Heisenberg had pushed him.
He wasn't seeing thru Walt when he let himself get shot instead of gtf out of there.
@@reidflemingworldstoughestm1394 That occurred to me as well.
1:32 Arrowhead Devs to Sony after Sony killed Helldivers
4:15 Bryan Cranston's least favorite part of the scene, according to his book.
Insightful comment. Thanks
"This whole thing could have been avoided" is such a telling line. Notice how Walt uses the passive instead of active voice (i.e. "I could have prevented this.") to avoid placing himself as the subject of his statement, therefore not having to claim responsibility for a mistake he committed. That, on top of bringing up Lydia and her possession of the names he wanted BEFORE telling Mike that he's sorry, makes his apology all the more disingenous and furthers his impenetrable pride and utter lack of humility.
its not apology, its more like "you died for nothing suck it up" type thing
Man is literally bleeding to death but he still makes it about himself
“Walt used me as an object.” -Mike
That's not passive voice, that's a past modal. Passive voice would be him saying "this could have been prevented by me".

Seeing the backstory of everyone in BCS helps to hammer home the fact that the right chemistry teacher in the right place at the right time can erase years of hard effort and planning
All the hard work that went into the underground lab and one ego maniac Chemistry teacher destroys it all. The twenty years Gus spent building up his distribution all went down the drain. BB and BCS are too good 🔥
Not to mention how Walt Indirectly and unintentionally took down the entire eladio cartel and the Salamancas, not sure wat Happened to Lalo or tucos.grandmother tho since I haven't finished bcs
And the whole Saul Goodman office that Jimmy and Kim spent years planning and fighting with a lot of heartbreak and heartwarming moments? Walter just wiped it out of existence.
@@billross9132 _Almost_ indirectly. He did kill Ocho Loco and (by proxy) Hector. However, Los Mellizos, Bolsa, and the rest of the Eladio Cartel were all Gus. Edit: Tuco is the odd man out in this hitlist. He really set his own death in motion through virtually no machinations of either Walt or Gus.
Lmfao
Putting Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul together is when you realize that both stories are about how meeting Walter White is the *worst thing* that happened to every person in the series who met him. (Give or take.)
I just love how Walt tried to mock Mike's logic to amuse his ego but instead he gets ultimate roast and he can't deny anything what Mike's said.
"You and your pride and your ego" That's one of the worst things you could have said to Walter tbh
He was right though
Although, Mike should’ve kept walking away the moment Walt shouted ‘YOU’RE WELCOME!’, I believe that Mike’s own ego was challenged which caused him to confront Walt. Had it not been for that, Mike would probably still be alive.
@@maximilianoferrer6841 yeah but mike was so fed up with Walt he wanted to put him in his place.
@@efrainordonez7091 And that's the issue. Mike, Gus, Hank, everyone keeps trying to put Walt "in his place" instead of treating him as an equal or superior, which he is. That's why he snapped.
what's "tbh"?
I love how Mike accepts his death in a way that Walter never could. He doesn't want a big final finish to his life, he's ready to just sit down and enjoy his final moments.
Being in the business for so long I'm sure Mike was ready for death. It was just a matter of when.
Bro, did you not watch the finale?
@@omarmassaoudi2932 the finale was Walter dying for something other than himself, but he still refused to die in peace and instead went for a grand finale to save Jessie. It was the right thing to do, but it could've been him being upset that someone else was getting credit for his legacy or him just wanting to get revenge on the neo nazis. Either way, he didn't die peacefully
@@Wastelander1337 he dies equally peacefully as Mike, both were fatally shot, both walked elsewhere from the scene before passing, contemplating quietly before death. It's not some big parallel between the two characters or anything, but Walter absolutely passes in a similar fashion.
@@hwtte5438 The one dying in the lab is Heisenberg. Walter totally "dies" under his house. When Skyler tells him she gave the money (they could use to flee after Gus threatened Walter´s whole family) to Ted Beneke. After that moment there is no more Walter White and Heisenberg takes full control. Even the call from Marie telling the cartel wants to kill Hank while Heisenberg´s laughter is heard in the background is an invitation to it. That everyone is entering HIS world now. And the death of "both" sides of the same person happens in similar shots. Camera going up slowly while they´re laying on the floor. One in his home. His comfort zone. The other in a lab. His comfort zone.
From just a substitute actor for a scene to easily one of the best and likeable character from BB and BCS
"Hey Mike, remember that time you held me at the laundry and were going to kill me?"
What's even more disturbing is knowing after Mike died, Walter had to drag is corpse back up, stuff him in the trunk, hope to not get pulled over by police, and in the next episode, with todd, dissolved him in acid, with 0 remorse for what he'd done.
Actually i think he just left his body there. Theyre in a rural area. By the time police find him he will be a skeleton
@@chimkinNuggz no, in the following episode, we saw Mike in Walt's trunk. it is confirmed Walt did dissolve Mike in acid.
@@HazeAbysmal really? I must of missed that scene
@@chimkinNuggz yea it was very quick. Walt opened the trunk of the car and we briefly saw Mike's corpse
@@chimkinNuggz walt and jesse have a conversation about mike right after walt closes the trunk with mike's body in it, that is the last we see of mike in any physical form
Gus meeting up with Mike in the Afterlife would be like, ''Let me guess...Walter White?''
Mike: "What gave you that idea?"
Lol
You're god damn right.
Why are you everywhere
Not funny. You are a like a rash that won’t go away.
Rest in peace bald Indiana Jones
